As we entered the bakery we could smell the fresh pastries. We were puzzled
from the variety of breads, pastries and delicacies.
We passed by the shop (we will return to it later), and sat in the small
coffee shop area, located on the far end of the store.
The menu offers light meals including salads, pies, sandwiches, toasts,
children meals and desserts.
We started with fresh orange juice and ordered Shakshouka, and a tomato
and goat cheese bruschettta. After a few
moments, two crispy side salads containing iceberg lettuce, thin slices of
carrots and cherry tomatoes with a gentle vinaigrette sauce arrived with fresh
bread, butter and homemade marmalade.
The Shakshouka was served in a mini skillet, it was very juicy and not
spicy. The bread was so yummy (like the other breads we tasted here, which we
also took home).
The bruschettta was made of toasted boutique bread and on top of it was
tomato salsa (chunks of fried tomato) and Kalamata olives, slices of goat
cheese and one egg with the sunny side up. It was served with herbs aioli,
which was more like a homemade seasoned mayonnaise. It was so rich with
flavors! The egg was made so accurately, cooked but still liquid at the center.
Delicious!
For dessert, we had two éclairs – strawberry vanilla éclair and praline
éclair. And my daughter asked for chocolate balls. It was a “wow”! Excellent
dough and filling – creamy and light texture! The chocolate balls were a type
of chocolate truffles rolled in crunch chocolate pearls.
We also had great coffee!
With a full stomach we could now explore the store. They make here artisan
bread using traditional, handmade methods with long kneading and waiting. They
use fabrics such as flax and imported baskets for it. They make bread from
wheat, rye, spelt, and other special flours and add superfoods and healthy
ingredients such as grains, flax, seeds, sesame, etc. the bread is made without
preservatives and artificial ingredients. In addition to bread, they bake here
buns, baguettes, plots, Focaccias, and many other types of bread.
The bakery makes many pastries including pies (which we took home and it
was very tasty), brioche, cakes, cookies, croissants, tarts, éclairs, cream
puffs, macaroons, and more. I felt here like in pastry wonderland!
They also carry here delicatessen such as homemade comfitures, granolas, and spreads.
In summary, Jacobs Bread is a heaven of breads, pastries and delicatessen!
You might want to be aware that the shop is not accessible since there are
a few stairs in the entrance, yet with some help from the staff, baby strollers
were able to enter the shop easily.
